well I got my jojoba and monoi oils in the mail today, and I can't wait to try them out!! I got the monoi oil scented with vanilla, and it smells pretty good....the only thing is that the monoi has solidified. The bottle says to put it in the sun or warm water to liquefy. Looks like I'll be experimenting with the jojoba first! lol.

I got my jojoba from drugstore.com too. I mix it with my conditioner on dry days with low humidity. I also scrunch some in if my hair isn't clumping too well due to the dry weather.
I can add it to my regular conditioner and use it as a DT too.

Jojoba and now Peach kernel oil are both great on my hair in small quantities

3a/3b thick coarse WL dark brown hair. CG/Mod CG since: 5/4/05. Current products: Right now my hair is in such a tizzy over this winter weather we are hving that nothing really seems to be working. I need a haircut.

well my hair is med thick , i think i just didnt rub the jojoba good enough in my hands or didnt spread the jojoba in good enough , my hair in certain spots were a lil oily so..mabye next time ill rub my hands together better and see how that goes , but now i just put a few drops in my condish ever so often and that works better

I use jojoba oil as an actual styler. It sounds like I use a lot more than other people here - about 4-5 drops at a time. I smooth it over wet hair and let it airdry, and it both emphasizes my curls and eliminates frizz. I have to watch it, or else I put too much in my hair. I am using sulfate-free shampoo these days - I noticed when I tried doing this on CG, my hair got really weighed down because of all that oil.

I use the Desert Essence stuff from Trader Joe's. A bottle lasts about a month and a half for me.
